“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.[a] 10 Your kingdom come, your will be done,[b] on earth as it is in heaven. ......"
So how is God Our Father?
God is a single Father..
…Eph 1; 5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
Gal:4;…5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
If you choose to see no plainly stated allegories and metaphors in your own chosen Bible quotes, I certainly won’t stand in your way. Though I must say, seeing someone who chooses a screen name that describes herself as a mom arguing against God-as-mother is depressing.
Believe what you want. As I said, God is infinite. If you’re happy squashing infinitude into fatherhood, go for it.
The same scripture calls bats, birds. The same scripture has rules about eating four-legged flying beasts even though none exits. I’m told that in those cases the words should be seen as alegorical but somehow, in other places, words are inerrant. I doubt that.
